K&S Hornet by Scottessey. 2015 build off JFF class
Thanks Fellas. And yeah Dan, thanks for suggesting green. I like how it turned out. :thumbsup:
I've been messing with the engine and although I have it running nicely, it's been spewing some oil out of the breather. I thought that it was just from overfilling it, which I did, :facepalm: but, it's been doing it even after I lowered the level. I drained it today and opened up the case. Could this have been the culprit? I think at some point, a bolt that was a little too long was put in to mount the clutch cover and this was the result. I'm going to try and fill the end of the hole with a little weld and seal it up. I think that should do it...hoping it will solve the breather leak issue. :thumbsup:

I took the engine apart, ordered some rings from Ebay, and went to reassemble it but one of the rings didn't fit. I called OldMiniBikes and talked to a great guy in tech support who actually pulled the ring set off the shelf, grabbed a caliper, and measured a ring for me to make sure it would fit my piston. It was some great customer service. Needless to say, I bought the rings from OldMiniBikes this time like I wished I would have the first time. They should be here soon and I'll have the engine up and running. Thanks Chad!!! :thumbsup:
